racial traits are fun because they take those 1500 points from you and make each game more interesting as they requie specific strategies, designs and counter designs and strategies. Its a good payoff - early game vulnurability (unless you leave the weapons for "later". mostly this goes to organic/crystallurgy as their weapons only good at levels 5-10) for later superiority (tell me whatever you want, having a racial trait, any racial trait, gives you wider variety of tactics and techniques)
